Don Broco score first Number 1 album with ‘Amazing Things’

Don Broco have scored their first ever Official Albums Chart Number 1 with Amazing Things, beating off stiff competition from The Weeknd’s Dawn FM.

Following Dawn FM’s release on physical formats, the gap closed on the midweek leaders in the latter half of the week – but Amazing Things, the Bedford-born band’s fourth studio album, held out and clinched victory by just under 1,500 copies. Don Broco achieved their Number 1 album with 98% physical sales, topping both the Official Vinyl Albums Chart and Record Store Chart.

Don Broco have enjoyed three UK Top 40 albums prior to today, including two Top 10s, with 2012’s Priorities (25), 2015’s Automatic (6) and 2018’s Technology (5)
 
Celebrating their Official Albums Chart Number 1, Don Broco tell OfficialCharts.com:

“Wow, our first ever Official Charts UK Number 1 album! Thank you so much to our fans for supporting us this week; we honestly couldn’t have done it without you. This one’s for you guys!”

They added: “After so many hiccups along the way with this album release, to finally get it out and get this Official Charts UK Number 1 Album award means so much.”

Little Mix’s Between Us climbs back into the Top 10 this week at Number 8 following the announcement of Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s solo deal with Warner Records, while last week’s Number 1 – Years & Years’ Night Call – remains in the Top 10 for a second week at Number 10.
